Should I use mulch on a topped tree?

• <div><p>A light layer of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-tree-mulch.htm">mulch can help protect a tree</a>, retain moisture, and keep the soil healthy. However, it’s important to avoid over-mulching or piling the mulch up around the trunk of a tree, a practice notoriously called “volcano mulching.” That piled mulch can increase the chances of rot and disease on the tree trunk as well as overwhelming the soil, which needs access to a certain amount of air. Topped trees have it hard enough: mulch sparingly while they heal.</p></div>

How can you save money on mulch delivery?

• <div><p>There are a few ways you can reduce the cost of mulch delivery, including the following:</p><ul><li><p>Place your order in the winter months for spring delivery</p></li><li><p>Choose a more affordable mulch color</p></li><li><p>Opt for a more affordable type of mulch</p></li><li><p>Place larger orders to get a lower cost per cubic foot</p></li><li><p>Opt to lay your own mulch to save on installation costs</p></li><li><p>Add on other delivery or landscaping services to save on travel costs</p></li><li><p>Prepare a single delivery site in the front of your property, and use a wheelbarrow to move smaller quantities </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

What size river rock is best for landscaping?

• <div><p>There are a few factors to consider when choosing the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-size-river-rock-is-best-for-landscaping.htm">right size river rock for a landscaping project</a>. First, think about how you’ll use the rocks. For example, if you’re installing them as part of a water feature, medium-sized stones (ranging between 2 and 5 inches) often work best. Smaller rocks (from 1 and 3 inches) are better for walkways and pathways, while a mix of medium and large stones (between 3 and 8 inches) is ideal for garden beds.</p></div>

"I had high expectations based on the positive reviews and Brian?s own assurances of his experience. Unfortunately, those expectations were not met. From the initial miscalculation of the loam and seed needed to complete the project to his refusal to meet and discuss the unresolved issues, the experience was deeply disappointing. Additional concerns exist but are beyond the scope of this review. To offer a simple comparison: while Brian was working on my property, the electric company happened to reseed a patch of roadside across the street. Their quick, basic repair job yielded better results than what I received. If Brian?s outcome had matched even that standard, I wouldn?t feel the need to leave a negative review. Perhaps his services are adequate for basic tasks like mowing, raking, or plowing. But for more substantial projects, I strongly recommend exploring other options. Do your homework before making a decision. OR TO BE HONEST... just avoid him."
